  1. 6. Studies on autoantibodies and inflammatory markers in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Hector Fabricio Espinosa Ortega; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic Inflammatory myopathies (IIM), commonly known as myositis, are chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by low muscle strength and low muscle endurance as main features. However, a high number of patients may develop extra muscular manifestations such as interstitial lung disease, skin rash or arthritis. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases with severe consequences for the life of affected patients. Dermatomyositis, polymyositis and inclusion body myositis (IBM) are the classical representatives of this group. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The role of autoantibodies in inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Sevim Barbasso Helmers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies; polymyositis; dermatomyositis; inclusion body myositis; ILD; IVIG; IFN; BAFF; endothelial cells; anti-Jo-1;

    Sammanfattning : Polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM), collectively called myositis, are chronic inflammatory myopathies. These disease subsets are heterogeneous but share some features, such as skeletal muscle weakness and inflammatory cell infiltrates in muscle tissue. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Physical exercise as a targeted therapy in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Li Alemo Munters; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are comprised of polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) with muscle impairment being the primary clinical feature. With the currently recommended treatment regimen, a majority of patients develop sustained impaired muscle performance and poor health for undetermined reasons. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and cancer : familial risk, genetics and consequences

    Författare :Weng Ian Che; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of rare rheumatic inflammatory diseases (RIDs), characterised by a diverse range of clinical, serological and histopathological characteristics, with muscle weakness as a shared hallmark. While advancements in disease management have improved the survival rates of patients with IIM, the mortality rate among patients with IIM is still higher than the general population, mainly due to association with comorbidities such as cancer.
